Today's Stats:

BM Breakfast
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  1041
    Reading:  112
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1117
    BP:  130/56
    Pulse:  56

    Systolic is a little high, although there are no signs of fluid retention. I'll keep my eye on it.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred at 1100 while we were preparing for her bath: poor volume; excellent consistency; very easy elimination; very easy clean-up.

Lunch
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  Not taken
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  1623
    BP:  135/68
    Pulse:  59

    Everything looks fine except her systolic. I'm continuing to keep an eye on it. No other indications of a CHF episode. She's having no problems breathing, either. She's been taking the oxygen cannula of voluntarily and isn't mouth breathing. We had an exercise session today and she did well (on oxygen).
    She was "ravenous" at lunch. I prepared a ham and cheese sandwich on an onion bun for her with mustard and about 1/8 cup MCS's Bread & Butter pickles with 11.5 oz V-8 juice.

BM Dinner
Blood Glucose:
    Time:  2006
    Reading:  198
Blood Pressure:
    Time:  2005
    BP:  134/66
    Pulse:  71

    I see the ham sandwich she had for lunch is checking in. Regarding her blood pressure, before she retired, without taking her blood pressure I gave her a third lisinopril. She had moderate feet swelling but nothing else.
    Her second Bowel Movement of the day was the cleaner outer: Volume, good; consistency, excellent; elimination; very easy; clean-up, very easy.
    For dinner she had 8 oz marinated, grilled rib-eye and 1/2 a baked potato with butter, sour cream and chives.
    She retired at 2300.
